Bollinger was in sparkling form for Australia

Doug Bollinger took 5-35 to help Australia to an eight-wicket win over Pakistan, giving them victory in the one-day series with a game to play.

Among the paceman's victims were opener Salman Butt and dangerman Shahid Afridi as Pakistan were dismissed for 197.

In reply, Australia found themselves 3-2 after Brad Haddin and Marcus North gave away their wickets cheaply.

However, Michael Clarke (100 no) and Shane Watson (85 no) steadied the ship to guide Australia to an easy win.
